Spring is coming soon, which is the perfect time of year to think about getting your sweaters ready for the end of sweater weather. To dive into sweater care and maintenance, Lee and Stacey are joined by producer Andi and coworkers Jen and Regan to discuss how we care for garments. Plus, Lee and Stacey chat about their current knitting projects and the movies they watched while working on them. 00:03 Welcome to the Knit Picks Podcast! 00:18 Lee and Stacey share what they’re been up to. 15:10 Andi, Jen, and Regan join Lee and Stacey for a discussion on sweater care! 18:55 The group discusses their normal sweater wash routine and pet hair management (or lack of it). 31:00 How does everyone block their older knits after washing? 35:50 The next topic is end-of-season sweater storage! 39:27 Maintenance routines get discussed 48:46 What does everyone do with their handknits that are at the ends of their life, despite good maintenance? 54:45 Our final question is what are the essential tools for sweater care for new sweater knitters? 60:11 Credits Hawthorne DK yarn
